STRUCTURE

The structure of the present progressive is as follows [SUBJECT]+ am/are/is (verb to be) + [ VERB WITH -ING ( gerund)]

SUBJECT	TO BE	present participle
I	am	playing.
You	are	playing
She/He	is	playing
They	are	playing

Denial with full verbs (this is not modal and auxiliary) is: [SUBJECT] + am/are/is (verb "to be") + not + [VERB WITH -ING ( gerund)]

SUBJECT	TO BE	NEGATION	present participle
I	am	not	playing.
You	are	not	playing
She/He	is	not	playing
They	are	not	playing

To construct the question you just have to reverse the order of the subject and the verb to be: am/are/is + [SUBJECT] + [VERB WITH "-ing"]?

Examples are:

SUBJECT	TO BE	present participle	Interrogación
am	I	playing.	?
